Episode 128: Mountain Bikes and Pre-season Stoke

On Episode 128 of Totally Deep Podcast, Doug Stenclik and Randy Young of www.cripplecreekbc.com bring you the lowdown on the world of uphill and backcountry skiing and boarding. Gear, technique, fashion, jargon, guests, and assorted spray from folks who know how to earn it in the backcountry. The world's best backcountry skiing podcast.   Doug returns from a trip to Dynafit's headquarters in Germany and a visit to Oberalp's headquarters in Italy. We'll hear about the many ups and downs of riding in the Alps and Dolomites, and how the mountain culture in these regions has adopted the E-bike ethos. It's a debate that is still settling in the places Doug and Randy call home.   The banter about bikes evolves into the rarefied realm of UCI World Champs and the upcoming World Cup on U.S. soil, based in Lake Placid. As the snow trickles down here and there in Colorado, it is also a time to recall how to be safe out there. Welcome back to Totally Deep.   On Episode 128 of the Totally Deep Podcast: A move to Portland and dog hair. Dynafit HQ. The Dolomites. Population density in the mountains.  Oberalp's HQ.  Dolomite riding.  The E-bike dilemma in the U.S., it's not so much in the Alps. World Cup mountain bike racing. Lake Placid's upcoming World Cup Mtb. race. Be safe out there.   Thanks for listening and joining us for the 2024-2025 season.  And remember: be safe out there.    More info about TDP at Totally Deep Podcast Blog on Cripplecreekbc.com.
